A bicycle built for one

So, after recovering from some serious jetlag, by sleeping until 14:00, (...don't worry I woke up for the free breakfast. I just went right back to sleep...)I decided that I wanted to go see El Parque del Buen Retiro (the park of good rest)...you know, because I needed some rest after all that resting. Actually, I read that it was a cool place to go on Sundays because everyone goes there on Sundays. But taking the metro seemed to be old hat. I decided to rent a bike. What started out as a simple trip to the park turned into a full day of a self guided tour of the city. It's awesome! Here are some pictures:
